Material Handling - Ash Handling
Boiler: Ash handling refers to the method of collection, conveying, interim storage and load out of various types of ash residue left over from solid fuel combustion processes.
The most common types of ash resulting from the combustion of coal, wood and other solid fuels. Ash produced in about 10 to 20% of the total coal burnt in the furnace. Handling of ash is a problem because ash coming out of the furnace is too hot, it is dusty and irritating to handle and is accompanied by some poisonous gases

Solution:
We as VACPL provided efficient and end to end solution of PLC based control panel and which is helping customer in below ways. installation time is greatly reduced with PLC control systems due to the reduced amount of hard wiring required. In other words, we only need to hard wire the input and output devices. The control logic is implemented using software not hard wired relays.
Modifications to the control logic can easily be done using software to modify the ladder logic program rather than hardware and wiring modifications that would normally be the case with relay logic control. The same PLC can be used for a wide range of control system applications.
